You don't just like Universal... you live and breathe it.

We're looking for people with extensive personal experience visiting Universal within the last five years who stay up to date on the parks, resorts, and everything that's new.

If this is you, let's chat.

If you're the person everyone calls before they book a Universal Orlando vacation... or if you've memorized the map...

If you can explain Express Pass, Early Park Admission, Epic Universe, and the differences between Portofino Bay, Stella Nova, Helios Grand, and Cabana Bay without Googling.....we've been looking for someone like you.

Favorite Grampy Travels is looking for 2 passionate Universal Orlando fans to join our team as Concierge Travel Advisors.

Curious? We're hosting an online strategy session next Wednesday evening for anyone interested in learning more about becoming a Concierge Travel Advisor. It's a casual time to hear what it is like being a travel agent, red flags to look for, get your questions answered, see if it might be the right fit for you.

Comment below for the details and we'll send them over. No travel agent experience required. Not an MLM.

P.S. If you knew exactly where this photo was taken before reading this... you're our kind of people.

BIG NEWS! 🎉

Favorite Grampy Travels has been invited to attend the exclusive media preview of Universal Kids Resort in Frisco, Texas this week before the resort officially opens.

Our team will be onsite experiencing the park, meeting with Universal representatives, gathering photos and videos, and learning everything we can so we can bring that information directly back to this community.

One of the things we're most proud of is that our advisors don't just read press releases. We experience destinations firsthand whenever possible so we can give families real-world advice based on actual experience.

Over the next few days we'll be sharing:
🎈 Attractions and experiences
🎈 Food and dining options
🎈 Who this resort is best suited for
🎈 Tips for planning a visit
🎈 Photos and videos from inside the resort

We can't wait to give you an inside look at Universal's newest project and help you decide whether it's a fit for your family.

Who wants to see lots of photos and videos from the preview? 👀

Record breaking Memorial Day weekend travel!

An estimated 45 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home between Thursday, May 21, and Monday, May 25. This slightly edges out last year's record of 44.8 million.

🚘 Most of those people will be in their cars—39.1 million out of that 45 million will be driving.

Worst time to drive❓If you are driving, Thursday from 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. these are going to be the worst times to drive in any major metro area. The absolute heaviest peak congestion will hit during the afternoon rush hours (3:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.) on both days, as well as Monday afternoon as people head home.
